XCF Global, a US-based producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel listed on Nasdaq under the ticker SAFX, said its New Rise Renewables facility in Reno, Nevada, has produced more than 4.4M gallons of renewable diesel since restarting operations in July 2026. The company announced the renewable diesel production milestone alongside a recent visit to the site by officials from the US Department of Agriculture.
Output since the July restart
The 4.4M-gallon figure covers the plant’s output since operations resumed in July 2026. The company did not give a monthly breakdown or say how much of the total has been delivered to customers.
The facility has a permitted annual production capacity of up to 40M gallons. The volume produced so far is equivalent to about 11% of that annual permitted figure, although the company has not stated the plant’s current operating rate.
USDA delegation tours the Reno facility
XCF recently hosted representatives from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for a tour of the New Rise Renewables plant. According to the company, the visit was intended to highlight operational progress at the site and to discuss future growth opportunities.
The company did not name the officials involved or set out which opportunities were discussed during the visit.
Renewable diesel production and US energy security
XCF said the Reno facility plays a key role in its efforts to expand domestic renewable fuel production and to strengthen US energy security. The company produces both renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which are intended as lower-carbon alternatives to fossil diesel and jet fuel.
Renewable diesel is generally made from bio-based fats and oils. Unlike conventional biodiesel, it is chemically similar to fossil diesel. The company’s announcement does not specify which feedstocks are used at the Reno plant.
Earlier plans for the site
Climate Global News has previously reported on XCF’s plans to explore the deployment of flex-fuel gensets at the New Rise Reno facility with Posh Energy. That project aims to make use of byproducts from sustainable aviation fuel and renewable fuel production at the site.
XCF Global is led by chief executive Chris Cooper. The company has not yet given a timeline for reaching the facility’s full permitted capacity.
